Snip, snip , snip ............ sh#t cut the gold bit..........
*Ring 3*
U : ''Hi, my sim card is broken''
3 : ''What do you mean broken''
U : ''I cut it with a pair of scissors to fit it into my ipad''
3 : ''You pr#t''
U : ''Can you send me out a new one''
3 : ''Yes but as you can afford to buy Apple products you will have to pay our new Apple tax, that'll be $500 please''
Didn't Tech Radar do this a few weeks ago? It was the same when SIM cards were the size of credit cards, aah the bad-old-days!
Never understood why they needed the extra wasted space on SIMs anyway?!
makes them easier to handle :)
Isn't it some kind of standard which Apple have ignored? Although the iPad isn't a phone so they could get away with it. But they have done this for the iPhone apparently, also ignored the standard charger slot on phones now (micro USB) which even Apple signed up to!
I think Micro-USB was decided on by the GSM association after the iPhone 3Gs was released, so you can't fault Apple for that one. Also, the data/charging connector isn't mandated by the GSMA, just a recommendation that virtually every other member has signed up to.
Apple have said that future devices would use micro-USB I think.
You need to set the APM for 3 to three.co.uk with no username or password :)
Others may have shown photos of a cut up sim card - but we've proven it works.
kkthx.
:mrgreen: fair point ;)Quote:

Typo alert...
'be a perfect pit' think that should be Fit :D
They've made a reasonable investment in their dock connector, so I think it's a bit harsh to complain about that. They'll be providing an adapter that will allow you to use your existing micro-USB charger with their device, so I don't really see the problem* (the real question is when phone manufacturers will stop bundling a charger with every device...)Quote:
